Definitions

  • the present invention concerns a method and a device for enabling rapid attenuation and subsequent securing of spokes to be mounted in a spoke wheel, wherein the mounting is carried out with the spokes in such position that spoke nipples can be screwed onto the free ends of the respective spokes from the opposite side of the rim of the spoke wheel to the side on which the spoke hub is located.
  • the present invention has for its purpose to enable the above-indicated object to be achieved. More specifically, the invention concerns a method and a device for attenuating oscillation movements and clamping in a predetermined position one end of a freely depending spoke for example when mounting spoke wheels. The free end of the spoke is permitted to slide into a slot which includes an energy attenuating structure through which the spoke passes. When the free end of the spoke thereupon exits from the slot, it is intercepted by a magnet and thereafter guided to a securing device by which it is clamped.
  • the present invention has for its purpose to enable the above-indicated object to be achieved.
  • the means by which this is carried out are disclosed in the accompanying claims.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates an embodiment of an attenuation device for spokes which have been introduced into a wheel hub and which depend freely with their free ends in accordance with the invention.
  • FIG. 2 shows a device which may cooperate with the device of FIG. 1 and which has for its purpose to secure the spokes in position above corresponding apertures in the wheel rim.
  • the same reference numerals have been utilized in the two figures wherever possible.
  • FIG. 1 comprises two essentially similar structures of which only one will be described in detail as the other one is embodied similarly and operates similarly.
  • the designation 1 more specifically refers to a spoke which has been introduced through an aperture in a spoke hub (not shown) and the free end of which has swung down in consequence of the tendency of the spoke to hang vertically.
  • the spoke is guided along one edge 2' of a guide plate 2 towards a catch pin 3 which may be adjusted in the direction of the two-headed arrow 4 by for example a pneumatically or electrically operating adjusting device 5.
  • a sensing pin 6 is utilized which may be swung forward to the dot-dash position 7 in a motion according to arrow 7' as verification.
  • the spoke may swing into said slot 8 which in the illustrated embodiment forms an angle at portion 10 and also is provided with an energy attenuator in the form of a zigzag portion 11 which preferably may be located at the end of the slot in the manner shown by FIG. 1.
  • spoke 1 exits from zigzag portion 11 it is immediately intercepted by a small permanent magnet in a bracket 12 so as to take the position which is indicated by designation 13. Said permanent magnet is not visible in FIG.
  • brackets 12 and 16 are identical and each one of them is provided with a permanent magnet corresponding to magnet 15.
  • FIG. 2 generally shows a device which is intended to be placed below the device of FIG. 1 and which comprises two slides 19 and 20 located in the same plane and adjustable in the directions of the two-headed arrows 17 and 18, said slides being mutually similar and supporting two similar elements, viz. on one hand (marked by a digit in the lower portion of the figure) a spoke interception member 21 and on the other hand a spoke clamping member 21' cooperating therewith, said spoke interception member on one slide cooperating with the spoke clamping member on the other slide and vice versa.
  • the interception member includes a bent wire 22 which may be rotated in the plane of the drawing around a shaft 23 disposed at right angles to the plane of the drawing. In order that this rotation may be achieved one end of wire 22 is guided against a pin 24. This is illustrated by wire 22 set to the dot-dash position 22' in which it may be seen that when slide 20 is slid from the dot-dash position 20' wire 22 will be rotated from position 22' to position 22 which is illustrated by solid lines.
  • the portion of the wire disposed on the opposite side of shaft 23 will simultaneously be made to engage spoke 13 and to guide the lower portion thereof to a position in which it engages interception member 21 which at its outer end is provided with a smoothly rounded portion 26 which merges into a recess 27 which in turn merges into a linear portion 28, with said rounded portion, recess and linear portion, respectively, being of such shape that spoke 13 will be introduced into recess 27 wherein it is secured by clamping member 21' on the opposite slide being made to engage the spoke with its outer end so as to secure the spoke when said opposite slide is advanced. In this manner the spoke will have been guided into proper position over a nipple aperture (not illustrated) in wheel rim 29 which is indicated by dot-dash lines. Thus, a nipple may now be introduced through the nipple aperture from the opposite side of rim 29 and be screwed onto the spoke.
